A very pleasant boat trip through the canals.

We especially appreciate the friendliness of the staff and the fact that dogs are allowed.

The price was very reasonable (€18 per person), as children travel free.

We would gladly do it again next time.

We went on a canal tour in Amsterdam as a group of women and had such a fantastic time that we decided to go for a second round! The captain and crew were incredibly friendly and took great care of us. Warm hospitality, a relaxed atmosphere, and delicious drinks made the experience truly unforgettable. Highly recommended.🤩

The Amsterdam canal cruise is fantastic and great value for money, and great fun on a converted old barge

On Christmas Eve, I made a huge mistake in the time our boat was leaving (booked with a different company), missed our original boat and then realized there was another boat leaving out of the same location at 5 PM. The gentlemen on this canal cruise legitimately saved Christmas for us! We had dinner reservations at 6 PM and even though they were full, they made room for us, were SO kind and gracious to us and my kids had the absolute best time. AND they got us to our dinner reservations! I seriously cannot thank them enough for what they did for us that night. They were the Christmas miracle we needed! Thank you again SO MUCH!

This was an incredible experience! The tour guide, capitan, and owner were so nice and told us a lot of cool information about the city. They were very generous with the cheese and even more with the wine. We tried 3 different kinds of each and got has many refills as we wanted. They also gave us other recommendations of where to visit and eat that weren’t tourist traps which we really appreciated. We actually considered doing the tour again the next day. Would definitely recommend! Those guys deserve a lot visitors

My friend and I lucked out and got this tour all to ourselves. We absolutely loved every moment! We learned and saw so much about Amsterdam. We had fantastic rosé and oysters. Our guide and the captain were amazing hosts. The boat was very beautiful as well. Thank you for the best time!
